Thang Luong, Co-founder, VietAI
Our seminar series on Innovation in AI in Asia continues with guest speaker, Thang Luong, Co-founder of VietAI and a Senior Staff Research Scientist at Google DeepMind. Thang will highlight his VietAI project that aims to build up the human resources necessary for Vietnam to flourish in the AI era.
Shane Gu, Senior Staff Research Scientist at Google Deepmind, will be our host and moderator.
Thang Luong obtained his PhD from Stanford University in which he built state-of-the-art neural machine translation systems at both Google and Stanford. Seeing the love and passion of Vietnamese students for AI, machine learning, and deep learning, he founded VietAI to bring back knowledge to Vietnam.
